Behemoth’s Nergal is back in court for tearing up a bible on stage

Never one to avoid controversy, Behemoth‘s Nergal finds himself in front of a Polish court in order to justify his use of over-the-top theatrics. This time, it’s not blood, mutilation, or extreme acts of violence or sexuality that has gotten him in trouble, instead, the ripping up of a bible on stage has brought the ire of many.

The tough front-man is coming off of chemo treatments and marrow transplants for a bout with Leukemia, so his court battle might be little more than an annoyance for the man who just received the “Metal As Fuck” award from Metal Hammer.

Band Spotlight

Colorado's Wayfarer craft moody and dark stories via unconventional atmospheric metal with more winding paths than a Tolkien tale. Their Prosthetic debut Children Of The Iron Age is an at times an expressive yet somber meditation and elsewhere an expulsion of screaming nerves beneath vast skies. Like Agalloch or Iceland's Sólstafir before them, Wayfarer's baleful yet contrarily heartening melodic dirges (often reaching over ten minutes per song) are sure to quicken your wanderlust and slaken your thirsty despair over a drout of epic thinking person's metal. Recommended track: "The Elemental."
